There was a fishy smell on the battlefield, and as the shuo wind blew into Wenshui City, many people hiding at home couldn't help but retched.
The smell is not only bloody, but also mixed with the stench of feces and urine, but it is familiar to people who have experienced war for a long time. Many people have died. This is the case, especially after a full stomach. The incontinence phenomenon will be more serious after death.
"The murderous aura is gathering in the clouds on the west side, and the two generals Lu and Lu are in danger."
On top of the city, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe looked up at the sky.
But Ding Yuan ignored it. He was old, but his eyesight had not diminished. Even if he couldn't see the specific situation, he could still clearly see the smoke and dust rising up into the sky.
There are probably tens of thousands of horses galloping in this formation!
I saw the dark cavalry gradually encroaching on the open space on the west side...
"No wonder we were able to win so easily. It turns out that the old thief Guo Tai quietly withdrew his elite troops and moved to the flanks."
Ding Yuan relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "I don't know what Meng Ming and Feng Xian did to make old thief Guo mess up. They would rather ignore the frontal battlefield and seek their misfortune."
Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be worried about the safety of his beloved general. Therefore, the middle-aged counselor couldn't help but remind him: "My lord, the flanks are thin. Originally, we only had 20,000 troops. Now after a fierce battle, I'm afraid most of them have been killed." .”
"There are just tens of thousands of old soldiers, nothing to worry about."
Ding Yuan shook his head, stroked his beard and smiled again: "The courage to serve the ancestors is not in vain. In addition, Meng Ming is plundering the formation from the side. So what can Huang Tian do if he borrows the old thief Wanqi again?"
When he finished speaking, he turned around, suppressed his smile slightly, and said to the many counselors behind him: "You don't need to worry about the battle. The top priority is to search for the remnants of the Taiping Road who are hiding their whereabouts."
As the saying goes, there are specialties in magic. The methods of Taiping Dao are indeed mysterious, but they are also branches of magic.
Compared with Guo Tai and other generals, Ding Yuan was more worried about those Taoists. They were good at deceiving people and proficient in various mystical methods. As long as there was enough time, they could launch a mob to start another Yellow Turban uprising.
"promise!"
All the counselors clasped their hands together, then turned into shadows and disappeared on the tower.
at the same time.
On the west side of the battlefield, far away from the city, the two men reining in their horses and waiting stopped talking, and the Yellow Turban reinforcements arrived belatedly.
Boom! Boom!
First there was the sound of drums, and then the vigorous sound of horns resounded through the wilderness. Lu Li sat on his horse and looked ahead. No more, no less, there were exactly three cavalry formations, plus seven infantry formations, which were slowly forming at the moment. Push forward!
Among them, a veteran with gray temples is the most conspicuous. He is riding a red-coated thousand-mile horse, and behind him are four strong men standing with yellow banners. All of them are muscular and can be easily transformed without transforming. Than giant.
In addition, there is a leading general in front of each square formation. Judging from his demeanor and mount, he is probably someone who has understood the spirit of war.
"I didn't expect that there are such elites in the Yellow Turban Army. If they fight with the same number of people, even the Wolf Cavalry is no match."
After speaking, Lu Li placed the battle flag captured from Han Xian and Yang Feng on the ground and pulled out his long sword.
Lu Bu on the side was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, his expression still calm, and commented: "The yellow scarf thief has some ability to sweep the world. I didn't expect that he even supervises the team."
"But there aren't enough people to see it."
Behind each square formation was an elite group carrying swords and axes. They did not pay attention to Lu Li and Lu Bu who were standing in front of them, blocking the road. Instead, they kept an eye on their own people. Looking at their posture, they were obviously preparing to kill. Soldiers who escaped without authorization.
"Meng Ming, why don't you hand over those ten generals and their subordinates to me."
At this time, Lu Bu raised Fang Tian's painted halberd, as if he was a demon who had released his seal. His smile faded at this moment, and the feathers on the three-pronged purple gold crown were dragged up by a strange arrogance, and the armor began to glow with red light.
In an instant, a strong killing aura floated between heaven and earth.
Lu Li was stunned and thought: What should I do? Do I have to stand by and watch like a salted fish?
As for whether Lu Bu was boasting and whether he would be defeated by the army, he was not worried at all.
Are you kidding me?
Three miles away, a flying halberd knocked down two yellow turban warriors, killing one and wounding the other.
In fact, Lu Li had always had a guess in his mind: Lu Bu might not have gone all out yet. Maybe he would explode into world-shattering combat power only when the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang came out at Hulao Pass.
However, these are not the key, the most important thing is to gain military exploits!
At this moment, in addition to the Taiping Dao Master, all the elite Yellow Turban Army were on display. It would be a pity not to participate and just watch Lu Bu perform alone.
Perhaps sensing Lu Li's doubts, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Don't tell me, brother, I won't take care of you. Do you have what it takes to kill the thief chief for the first time?"
Hearing this, Lu Li felt his mouth go dry for a while, and his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Guo Tai, as if he was staring at a prey.
"have!"
This is a huge favor. Lu Bu restrained all the enemy troops and created opportunities for himself to kill alone.
Looking around the world, who can have this kind of treatment?
If others knew about it, they would be envious to death.
Frankly speaking, if he hadn't known that Lu Bu was not a joking person, Lu Li would have suspected that he was lying to him for fun.
Ding Qinyu, the daughter of the lord.
Probably because of her.
In the eyes of the senior generals of the Bingzhou Army, after this battle, Ding Gong will have a good son-in-law, so everyone is willing to send favors, not to mention that Lu Bu is Ding Gong's adopted son, and from now on, he will be his own family.
But Lu Li did not resist this soft rice. Instead, he found it very delicious. It was Guo Tai's head. This man was not only the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Bingzhou, but also the first to stand up after Zhang Jiao was defeated and killed. The person who carries the flag——
The story of his gathering of people to rebel in Baibo, Xihe County spread to the world, and various ministries responded one after another. In a sense, Guo Tai can be called the second Zhang Jiao.
In other words.
As long as he can cut off this guy's head, plus the King Guli he killed earlier, even if he doesn't go to Hulao Pass and doesn't participate in any major events, Lu Li dares to let go of his bold words:
This trip to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not inferior to others.
At this moment, the roar of horse hooves from the front became clearer, and several groups of iron cavalry appeared hundreds of steps away.
Bright swords and guns, uniform steps.
Lu Bu's eyes were scornful, as if he was brewing something, while Lu Li was even more confident after receiving the assurance, acting a little frivolous, no, he should be calm.
I saw him sheathing his long sword and once again raising the flag on the ground.
Since Yang Feng was killed on the spot by Fang Tian's painted halberd, the Wolf Rider cut off his head, which is now hanging on the top of the flag, accompanied by a helmet owned by Han Siam.
not far away.
The guards who gathered around Guo Tai all had eyes wide open. They couldn't help but pick up their reins, wanting to clap their horses forward and take back the general's flag.
"Compared with four years ago, the Bingzhou Army has become stronger and stronger. I'm afraid Ding Yuan himself did not expect that so many heroes would emerge under his command."
Looking at Lu Li, who kept waving his general's flag with provocative intent, Guo Tai went out of his way and secretly praised him.
"Time is also fate, that person is Lu Bu, right? I heard that this person is unparalleled in the world, and I thought that his reputation was exaggerated. But after these two battles, I have lost my sight and underestimated the hero."
Hearing the master praising the enemy general, the guards loosened their reins one after another and lowered their heads in silence.
If it had been the past, some people would have been dissatisfied and asked for a fight, but now...
Hu Cai asked for a fight and tried to attack the enemy's commander, but was knocked off his horse by a flying cavalry and barely managed to survive two rounds.
Han Xian asked for a battle, tricked the enemy general into going deep alone, and used poisoned weapons to attack him secretly. Now his life and death are unknown, and only a dagger is left hanging on the battle flag, which has become a tool for the enemy general to show off his force.
General Yang Feng was supposed to go to the west to stop the enemy and buy some time, but he was so frightened that he ran away and came to compete with Han Siam to try to get rid of his guilt. As for the result... his head hung high.
Lu Li is an extraordinary warrior.
Lu Bu is unparalleled.
After nearly a day of fierce fighting with almost no sleep, everyone in the Yellow Turban Army recognized the two of them and labeled them as not to be messed with.
"I received great kindness from a great virtuous and good teacher. I originally wanted to keep him in a useful life and established me as Huang Tian."
"But because of misjudgment of the war, a good situation was ruined. All the blame lies with me."
When the two armies came into contact, it was supposed to be a murderous fight to the death, but the result was somewhat unexpected.
Lu Li and Lu Bu stayed there silently, as if waiting for the dying man to finish his last words, while Guo Tai, who had originally vowed to take revenge, suddenly became old, like an old farmer in the countryside, and was talking about self-blame.
At this time, Guo Tai became more and more serious as he spoke, and his tone became more high-spirited: "With the Yellow Sky overthrown, how can the common people survive? I firmly believe that only I, the Yellow Turban Soldier, can change this troubled world, but the time has not yet come."
"Or perhaps, the important task of saving the people from fire and water and bringing peace to the world in troubled times must be completed by brothers from other states."
All the soldiers present had witnessed the great virtuous master and regarded him as a god. He said: The sky is dead and the yellow sky will stand, so it must be true.
It is precisely because of this that the first two words from Master Guo Tai did not waver them. In fact, they had already been determined to die, and the last two heartfelt words boosted their morale.
"Huang Tian is above, bless all people!"
"Huang Tian's magic power can destroy all armies!"
Following the roars, thick yellow smoke rose up from the sky above the ten phalanxes, covering the sky and the sun. The scene was comparable to the Taiping Dao master's magic to change the day last night.
Seeing this, Lu Li's heart skipped a beat.
Frankly speaking, although Lu Bu had his backing, he had not grown to the point of ignoring everything. Now, there was a strong intuition deep in his heart: stay away from this place, otherwise he would be doomed to defeat.
At this time, Ding Yuan, who was standing at the top of the city, stopped stroking his beard and glanced to his side. The large banner symbolizing military power and status was fluttering in the wind, but no vision was manifested.
You must know that this object is made of pure yak tail, approved by the imperial court and worshiped by all armies. It can break all laws and suppress all weird methods. But now it has become useless at all. There must be something fishy...
At this thought, Ding Yuan felt confident and couldn't help but panic. His adopted son and son-in-law were on the flanks, and there were not many soldiers around him. What should he do if his life was in danger?
Just in time, Zhang Liao, who had settled the military affairs, jumped up to the city. Seeing Ding Yuan frowning slightly, he calmly consoled him: "Don't worry, my lord, I'm here first, and nothing will go wrong."
"Don't worry, let them mess around, I will break it all by myself."
Almost at the same time, Lu Bu was also dispelling Lu Li's doubts.
Seeing his confident look, and thinking about the world-renowned reputation of Marquis Wen in the future, Lu Li swallowed back the words that were on his lips, and kept reminding himself: You are with Lu Bu, so there is nothing to worry about. how? Never be a coward and make others look down on you.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of the two men, Guo Tai rode out of the square alone.
It stands to reason that this trip should catch the enemy off guard, and should be carried out vigorously and resolutely, rather than beating drums and blowing trumpets. However, in order to increase the momentum, these elite Yellow Turbans beat drums and blew trumpets along the way.
"Is this a patrol?"
"Well, it's the last time, let him be."
The two of them still did not stop them, it was very much like the righteous battles in the Spring and Autumn Period, which emphasized "faith" and "righteousness"——
Before starting a battle, you must wait for the enemy's chariots to be lined up, their formations set up, and they have said hello before the battle can begin.
At this time, the old coach Guo Tai was galloping and inspecting among the ten square formations alone.
Facing the cold wind, he felt that his brain was extremely clear and his perception was also extremely sharp:
The tense muscles of the war horses, the powerful sound of hoofbeats, the bright-eyed tribesmen...
"The stars are shining brighter than one day. From now on, we are the sun in the sky."
Everywhere he went, he would repeat this sentence.
